PARTY TIME!

When Christian Kimber first switched from making footwear to clothing in 2018, his refined approach to casual wear was something of a revelation. Five years on, the English-born designer’s recent show at Australian Fashion Week proved just how far Kimber and Aussie menswear have come. Surprisingly, Christian’s collection was his first full runway show at Fashion Week, although he has staged smaller showcases in Sydney and Melbourne for previous seasons.

With almost forty looks ranging from casual to formal, the collection was his largest and most impactful to date. “We feel we have something to say and want to show people what we can do,” he told MAXIM after the show. The ambiance during the presentation was easily the best all week, with models strutting the runway past a Kimber-clad live band playing Kylie Minogue. In fact, quality live music is fast becoming a staple at Kimber’s presentations – last year’s showcase in Melbourne included a live orchestra.
